The Ex Libris logo designed by Leslie Smart and Associates uses a woodcut created for L. Bruce Pierce, a former editor of Ryerson Press, who has permitted its use for our logo. The pine tree bent to the wind and the geese flying south are found in all parts of Canada.

Accomplishments:

Helen Donaldson established a library as a separately furnished facility, including telephones, in every school (i.e. 25) in East York within Metropolitan Toronto and convinced administrators to build library resources, professional staff, support staff and extensive learning resources in all media. The system was a leading example for boards of Education throughout Metropolitan Toronto and Ontario. It won the Britannia Award for School Library Development. She guided the teaching philosophy and policy for the libraries.
